OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a nuclear protein with an RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain. The protein is a member of the cleavage stimulation factor (CSTF) complex that is involved in the 3' end cleavage and polyadenylation of pre-mRNAs. Specifically, this protein binds GU-rich elements within the 3'-untranslated region of mRNAs. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Whether an antibody against CSTF2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads CSTF2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CSTF2 could matter depends on whether native CSTF2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
CSTF2 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label CSTF2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
